2020 AR Senatorial race: on Jobs


Dan Whitfield: Large corporations required to pay $15 minimum wage

If we change how we classify business, we can take on this challenge more easily. We can reclassify business as small, medium, and large. Large corporation should be REQUIRED to pay a minimum of $15.00/hour. We can then tax businesses in a progressive way where small pay around 10%, medium pay around 20%, and large corporations pay 30% in taxes. This will alleviate that tax burden on struggles small business while enforcing corporations that profit billions to pay their fair share.

Dan Whitfield: Regain workers' rights and protections through Unionism

Ending Right To Work and Giving Federal Union Protections to Workers: Businesses have been taking advantage of workers and enough is enough. CEOs have helped candidates get elected in both local and federal positions to weaken and destroy the Unions that protected Americans as we built America. We need to regain workers' rights and protections through the choice of Unionism.
